A gravel road of about 400m length leads from riksväg 119 up to a radio mast, there you may leave your car. About 90m east from the highest point in Blekinge on the Rävabacken is a picnic bench beside a sign with various walking paths through the old borderland between the provinces Blekinge, Kronoberg and Skåne.

Back in 2006 Birgit Johannson from the Farabol community placed the first guest book at this place in a dark green solid case (probably a swedish frontdoor mailbox?), painted the word "Gästbok" (guest book) on it and hoped that the people interested in visiting the highest point of Blekinge also would sign the guest book. And the people did.

On May 6th in 2015 the guest book was replaced by a new simple notebook, the first one was brought to the school in Farabol. The fact was mentioned on the first/title page of the notebook. On the second page she wrote a short invitation to write something into the book: "Välkomma till Blekinges Högsta Punkt önskar Farabols Byalag. Skriv gärna i denna! Tack! Datum, år, namn och varifrån ni kommer. Det år interessant. Lyckar vi?" which translates to "Farabols community wishes you a welcome to Blekinge's Highest Point. Feel free to write in this! Thanks! Date, year, name and where you come from. It's interesting. Will we succeed?"

Even while being in a sealed plastic bag inside the mailbox the guest book unfortunatly got a little bit moist in the last seven years.
